  I would like to see any politician move into an empty council house with his/her family for one month. The head of the household would receive nothing but benefits which would be supplemented by the wifes income from a part time job. This is a common scenario.
  
  Out of that income they would have to meet the average monthly costs of rent ,gas,electric.phone,tv licence and food. Plus purchase at least 2 childrens items of clothing (shoes,shirt,dress or trousers) and face one unexpected bill. Breakdown of cooker,washing machine or fridge etc. Anyway you get the jist.
  
  They would then be able to experience how hard it is for families to cope both financially and emotionally in the current climate.
  
  I am sick and tired of being patronised by condenscending wealthy MP's who blurt out at every photo and press opportunity that ''We are all in it together'' and then disappear for a luxury 5* weekend break in the sun costing £5k with their partner,someone else's partner or the young office boy.
  
  Do they think we are mugs? cos they sure as hell treat us like it.
